About Us

DR. TOM KOLLARS, the DNA Bio-Musician

Dr. Thomas M. Kollars, Jr. is a scientist as well as jazz and classically trained musician and composer. He has worked in a number of fields of science in the United States, Europe and Asia. Much of his career has been to use ecology, molecular biology, mathematical modeling and spatial analysis to help improve and protect human health. He has a number of publications within scientific journals and is also an inventor.

As a trombonist, Tom has played with a number of groups in the United States as well as in Asia. He has performed with the Philadelphia Spectrum Big Band, members of the Thailand National Symphony, and the Bangkok International Big Band. He is a member of the Baltimore Composers Forum and is involved with composing classical and jazz music. His love for science and music drove him to develop a method that could tie the two fields together. DNAudio compositions and songs have been used in zoos and wildlife conservation societies. His songs have been used in hospitals and at home, by patients having diseases such as diabetes and cancer and by people using his music to help in meditation, healing and worship.

One of Tom’s goals with DNAudio is to inform people how precious and irreplaceable every living thing and every person is. A second goal is to help bring harmony and balance to peoples' lives through the healing and meditative power of music combined with science.

ALVIN YONG

Alvin Yong is deeply fascinated by the bio-Age musical creation of his friend, Tom. Having played the classical guitar since the age of 13, and having dabbled in song composition himself, Alvin thoroughly enjoys the uniquely soothing and meditative genetic composition, and is thrilled by the way Mother Nature composes such magical sounds and hides them in the DNA of living organisms.

Like Tom, much of Alvin's career has been in high tech arena - defence technology, Internet media, bio-tech aromatherapy and nano-tech wellness and skincare. And with an academic background in quantum physics, he believes that there could be possible healing and therapeutic benefits from Bio-Music.

Alvin aspires to share Tom's Bio-Music with the world, and thus he set up BioArtz as the vehicle to promote Bio-Music and to offer the unique service to help others create their own signature Bio-Music based on their DNA for enjoyment, discovery and lasting memory.

Bio-Music is such a magical confluence of science and arts - hence the name BioArtz! Enjoy.
